According to posts on twitter, there are significant damages and at least 2 fatalities after a moderate magnitude M5.6 in western Java island, Indonesia. Inland shallow fault rupture, close to towns, likely explain the destructions.

Earthquake Disaster 

@ALomax Yes. Even worse. I read 44 fatalities (Le Monde).
Likely a shallow crustal fault rupture very close to towns / villages. Sad.
Any idea of the mechanism ? (from local networks)
